The Author of "The Leayenworth
Case"

Anna Katharine Green, the author
of 1.-The Leavenworth Case" now
lives in South Brooklyn in a cosy little
brick house something after the Queen
Anne style, where, as Mrs. Rohls, the
name by which she is known outside of
her novels, she manages to vibrate
between writing-desk and nursery in
the same CHEEKY, comfortable fashion
in which most literary women who
are at the same time mothers of fami-
lies do.
''How did you, being woman,
come to be So well up in detective
cases?" she was asked the other
day.
II don't believe / could tell YOU"
was the reply. ut may seem "a strange
confession to make, coming from
woman who has written more detect
i've stories than anything else, but !
was never inside II courtroom in
my life. l never knew a detective,
and l never had any personal expe-
riences that would give me knowledge
of matters of that soEt."
'.How can you write intelligently,
then, of the tricks of trade that you
have not learnedP"
II do not know. It has seemed to me
instinct always. When first thought
of writing it was the unraveling of
the clues that would lead to the detec-
ton of crime that seemed the sub
ject that was made for me. l carried
the germ of The Leavenworth Case in
my mind from the time was fourteen
years old. When the time came to
write it, L couldn't help doing So"
"You never made any study of the
phases of actual criminal life, then,
for the color of your tales?"
mot especially, no. When l have
wished to describe tho robbery of a
bank, have gone to look the entry
and exits over, so as not to make mis-
takes which would be absurd to bus
mess men. In writing up long trial,
as in one of my books, 1 have studied
the statutes, not to be out of way in
my law. But as for studying crimi-
mails from the life, have never done
that at all. 1t was one of the prom
ises my husband made me before we
were married that he would take me
through the quarters to see something
of low life in New York, but somehow
we have never found time after all.
Human nature is much the same in
everybody; a criminal is a man or

tective business, put my wits at work
and let my scouts do exactly as under
the same circumstances | would do
myself. '-NeU York Letter to ,SdUdqs-
